Wow, I know that Gasolin' tried to make it in the US in 1977-78, but failed. This could be the turning point: Already two new american "fans".

The Metallica-drummer, Lars Ulrich is born in Denmark, and is about my age. I know, that he is a big Gasolin'-fan, and that he came in the same record-shop in Copenhagen at about the same time as me (1977-), buying Heavy Rock-records. I kinda knew a guy, that worked in that shop, and Lars Ulrich stayed sometimes in his appartment, when Metallica was recording their first records in Denmark. The same guy was manager for Pretty Maids for a short periode.

I've added a few of their songs. Some of them in english. Try to listen to "This is my life". That's pretty good, I think. "Sct. Emitri" though in danish, is very good too. My favorite is "Efter endnu en dag" but then you'll have to "listen" to the video.
BTW their producer Roy Thomas Baker was also Queen's producer on fx. "A night at the opera" in case you did'nt know that.
